Post your Labor Day weekend cooks here.

Since all of my pellet grills are broke, I gave the Weber Genesis a workout this morning.  I like to cook a lot and freeze so its easy for me to reheat something over the next few months.

2# of bacon
4# of boneless pork chops
3# of sweet Italian sausage
1# beef steak sandwich
3# chicken steak sandwich

  It's an easy one for me.  A flat iron steak & baked potatoes on the Egg.. + veg?

  For some reason flat iron steaks were below my radar.. The lady @ our market sells only her own beef - hormone free ++++. She said her butcher told her it was the

 second most tender cut.  All I can say it's mighty tender & tasty.

 Happy Labor  Day to All.

Breakfast was Mediterranean egg cups made with artichoke and feta cheese. I forgot to add the black olives. I also forgot to add the feta but pulled them out of the oven in time to stir some in.

I also did thick sliced bacon, ham slices, O'Brien potatoes and eggs on my Blackstone griddle.

The big cook is going on now. We are making hot process soap from olive oil, 92-degree coconut oil, palm oil and castor oil. It is cooking as I write this.

Tonight, I am smoking a rack of lamb and making spaghetti. I'll have more on the rack of lamb later. I have wanted to do one for a long time since my wife really likes lamb.

This was the first time she did not object to the price when I wanted to buy one.

Tomorrow morning will be shakshuka for breakfast. After that, who knows. Maybe McDonalds. I will probably be tired of cooking.

Here is the rack of lamb. There is a description in this thread.

It was really juicy. Look at the oil coming off the end of the bones.

I need to add to the weekend cooking list homemade tapenade.

 Goodness gracious - spectacular.

 Goodness gracious - spectacular.

Indeed!!

I cut my first St. Louis style ribs from spare ribs for smoking today.  It was a lot easier than I expected.

Grilled corn on the cob with BBQ chicken legs and ribs.  I did use a Moroccan rub on one rack which I really liked

What flavor profile did that Moroccan rub have?  I bought some sort of African BBQ rub in a grocery store in Amsterdam but have not tried it yet.

Just easy stuff today. Burgers and Dogs from Gordons, had corn cooking in the turkey fryer pot, her sister brought macaroni salad and we had some brownies and  what  I called it apple crisp, but it was the same as the dutch apple pie I made for her last week.

 No pic of corn or the first 2  grills filled with the meat.

Ditto on no Smoker today. When I asked my wife, she replied chicken vegetable soup. So, I pulled some chicken quarters out of the freezer and popped them into the sous vide at 165°, since they were frozen, I'll keep them there for 4 hours before I sear/shred them and make soup. Seared chicken shredded, Juice from bags, cut green beans, diced carrots, corn, celery, onion, garlic, peas and chicken broth. seasonings are salt, pepper, dried parsley flakes, oregano, basil, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce and Frank's hot sauce.
